Excited to be able to share this project with others and add to the growing body of work on diversity in neurodegeneration. Great group of folks to get to work with!
Preprint out now! Excited to announce that our manuscript titled
"African ancestry neurodegeneration risk variant disrupts an intronic branchpoint in GBA1" can now be found here https://t.co/W0t0Vyznpu .

To the person who stole my bike,
All I hope is that you need it more than me. Please take good care of it. That bike has carried me to many people over many miles. I just ask that you keep it inside and give it some extra love every once in a while. You will be missed rip💔😪
